The
purpose of PACT is to bring together researchers from the architecture
and compiler communities to present ground-breaking research and debate
key issues of common interest. This conference, the tenth in the series,
will be held in lovely Barcelona, Spain. The city represents a unique
combination of beauty, culture, history, and advanced technology, and
fosters an ideal environment for an enjoyable and stimulating exchange
of ideas. Once again, the focus of the meeting will be on multi-disciplinary
research. We solicit novel papers in a broad range of topics, including
(but not limited to):

Parallel architectures and computation models

Theoretical foundations of parallel architectures

Cluster computing based on PCs with commodity switches

Cluster computing: Unix (Linux) versus NT

Parallel processing in the context of JAVA

Application-specific parallel architectures

Compilers for parallel computer systems

Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies

Advances in architectures and compilers for ILP (superscalar,
VLIW,multiscalar
architectures...)

Parallel programming languages and paradigms

Application studies that demonstrate the performance of parallelcomputer
systems

Reconfigurable architectures

Role of Compiler and Compilation Technology to reduce power consumption
